The new iPhone 15 Pro will be also available in four textured titanium options: black, white, blue and natural. The Pro Max is also getting the four-color titanium treatment. Both will be available for preorder on Friday, Sept. 15 and will release on the 22nd. You can check out the best iPhone preorder deals here.
Apple said that the new iPhone 15 is the first smartphone ever to have its colors “embedded throughout a single piece of durable color-infused glass.” Apple said that its use of metallic ions allows it to control the saturation of the color in the glass back, creating this new roster of colors. The iPhone 15s have a matte finish, and on the titanium 15 Pro and Pro Max come with a textured matte finish.

These models are a stark contrast from the light, springtime feel of the iPhone 15. Instead, the Pro and Pro Max colors are dark, with metallic flecks that are subtle but still eye-catching. The Pro and Pro Max are the Oppenheimer to the iPhone 15’s Barbie.
The Pro model colors are more in line with what Apple has historically created for its phone. When the iPhone 14 launched last September, it was available in blue, purple, midnight, starlight and Product Red. Apple then surprised users in March the next year by announcing that the 14 and 14 Plus would also be available in a new color, a pastel yellow. Apple could have similar plans for the new iPhone 15 — perhaps another springtime new addition? We’ll have to wait and see.
